Question

Following order is observed in oxidizing power of certain ions:

$VO_{2}^{+} < Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2 -} < MnO_{4}^{-}$

The reason for this increasing order of oxidizing power is

A

Increasing stability of the lower species to which they are reduced

B

Increasing stability of the higher species to which they are oxidized.

C

Increasing stability of the higher species to which they are reduced.

D

Increasing stability of the lower species to which they are oxidized.

Answer

Increasing stability of the lower species to which they are reduced

Explanation

Solution

The increasing order of oxidizing power is due to increasing stability of the lower species to which the are reduced
